Does the mount hold the wheel close enough to the bike frame that you might be able to use a U-lock to secure the wheel to the bike?

Yes, you can position the wheel mount close enough to the bike frame in order to use a U-Lock, as long as the U-Lock isn't too short.

Yes it does. The tire can touch the black base which puts the tire about 2 in from the mouth mounting bar.Michael

I suppose it could be close enough to lock onto the chainstay--it depends on the size of the frame and the configuration of the crossbars on your rack. I don't think I would use something heavy like a U-lock while driving, though, a bump in the road could do nasty things to your spokes!

The wheel carrier mounts to the cross bar, so if you can get it close enough, and have a large enough u lock, it should be possible...

Yes, I believe so. I have a 24" bike and I have used the lock to lock both tires since they have the easy on/off feature. Don't the specs say the length? I think it is 6'.

I believe so. However, I would probably use the zip ties instead if the rubber bands and I would consider putting a piece if rubber or something to even out the mount that goes on the bike. That way it won't shift or leave a gap. Hope it works for you. I love mine!

Hey J I park this at a rack with the rear tire in the rack. The bike rack is a poor design. I put the U lock through the frame and rear wheel and to the rack and use the cable to secure the front wheel. It works great. You should have no problems locking it to a rack or a pole or post.

I doubt it will work, that mount is meant to be placed on bicycle handlebars and once it is tightened with zip ties does not allow it to rotate.

Yes, but it may slip on the handlebar/bike frame. If it slips on the frame/handlebar, use electrical tape on the frame to make the friction greater. If the switch pivots too much, put a rubber washer between the switch and the mount, and tighten it.

I dont think so. Is too tight. Even two mounting bike needcto be place reverce each to other to fit into the holder.

I tried to see if we can, however i do not think it's possible. If securing is important for you, you want to buy it and take to local hardware shop to weld something to it or maybe the item listed below.Combination Bike Lock with Coated ChainHope it helps.

Unless the bike is ultra heavy it's no problem hanging it this way. The weight is actually distributed between the front wheel and to a lesser degree rear wheel from a "vector" stand pt.

Yes, but only if you mount it on the top of the frame so it's hanging down. It depends on how large the bike is as well.

The bar itself has a locking mechanism but the bike mounts do not. Although, you can order locking bike mounts separately that should work with this rack.

It would more secure if you use two locks. One at or about the handle bars and another one at bottom of platform behind front wheel. Just would not want to make it easy to take. Best of luck.

I am thinking No. The mount is about 3"wide and mounts with Velcro strips. It could be mounted on a bicycle but would not be secure.

I use my "U" lock from my bicycle to lock it around that angled bar just behind the front wheel. I lock it up at places where I won't be very long like the store. Don't think I'd lock it someplace for longer if I couldn't keep a periodic eye on it.

I have a bike lock to the spare wheel and the frame of the bike rack. You should also have a wheel nut lock to prevent theft on the whole wheel.

I don't think so but you can always mount your bike and if there is no room, take off the spare and put it some place else!

Depends on which bit you are trying to secure. If you put the front tire in the slot on the rack, you can secure it. If you are going for the frame or the post you may have trouble. What I do is either try and get an end slot or just lock it to the outside bit of the rack. Hope this helps!
